The thief having th o 1 ed for the absence of he master and mistress, entered It ktli '°l l l3e ; when he got in be found that nobod) . , was there but tbi, r a e servant, whom he ordered to supply him with some wislii t r ; e at and drink. As soon as he had finished his . repast, ` 44 11:' t ° rob the housewithout interruption and without a her wshsiciaintold the poor g w irl to prepare forts ath, and aslied tabbing. The ode she would prefer, hanging o 1~ girl, trembling at every limb, refused to make c h o ice, scar cely believing that he could be in earnest, but, finding him resolute and determined, she selected hanging. The robber then fastened her to the foot of the bed, got upon a chair, and passed a rope over the beam, making a slip-knot for the head of his intended victim. Just at this moment the chair over turned, the hand of the robber was caught in the slip, and there he remained banging without the possibility of disen gaging himself. He tried in vain to reach the beam with the other hand, and then he besought the girl to release him. She had the generosity to try, but did not succeed ; and there he remained, caught in his own trap, until the police arrived and took him into custody. When taken down his arm was found to be dislocated. THE ST R IKE.—We are not yet able to announce— and we very much regret the circumstance—that the disputes betwen the 'file manufacturers and their workmen have been amicably settled.—Shejj7eld Mercury. The Hon. Robert de Bruce, a Swedish Nobleman, who was committed from Hatton-garden Police-office a short time ago on the charge of bigamy, and who was tried and con. victed at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to seven years' trans portation for the offence, has received a free pardon. CLOTHIERS' TURN-oUT.—We understand that some of the masters have given an advance in the neighbour hood of Ossett, although the principal part of them have re fused to give more than a moiety of the advance required by the men. A meeting was held at Ossett last Monday evening by the masters.—Leeds Intelligencer. Saturday was the Commission day at Taunton, the last of the present Assizes. On Monday and Tuesday the Quarter Sessions throughout the kingdom take place. It is expected that the marriage between the Hon. Captain Hamilton and Lady Harriet Hamilton, sister to the Marquis of Abercorn, will be solemnized in town during the present week. MARQUIS OF HASTINGs.—In announcing the arrival of this ship at Cannonore the Madras Male Asylum Herald relates the following lamentable occurrence :—A me lancholy accident occurred on the voyage. The cuddy table having in a heavy lurch during a gale fetched away, and coming with its full force against the chest of Mr. Lanchester, the purser, who was seated at the end, killed him almost on the spot. We understand that the preliminaries of a marriage in high life were finally settled last week, and in consequence it is expected in the course of the present that the Earl of Antrim will lead to the Hymeneal altar the beautiful and highly-accomplished Miss Laura Parker, the third daughter of the Hon. Colonel Parker, and niece to the Earl of Maccles field. The bridegroom is in the 23d year of his age ; the bride has just completed her 19th year. MURDER.—A Coroner's Inquest was held on Sunday last, at Ahascragh, on view of the body of a woman, named Madden, who, it appears, died in consequen'ee of several severe injuries inflicted on her person by her husband. One of her arms and one of her legs were broken, the latter in two different places, and various marks of violence were discovered en her breast and other parts of her body. A verdict of Wil ful Murder was found against her husband, who had absconded, but who has been since apprehended and committed to Galway gaol, to abide his trial.—lrish Paper. An attorney, who is also one of the Directors of a second-rate Theatre, has lately absconded from Paris a de faulter to a large amount. He was supposed to be a man of large private fortune ; his losses, it is said, were owing to spe culations in the Foreign Funds, and his debts are said to be very considerable. One of his creditors, a lady, has claimed to the amount of 100,000 francs. We learn that the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth, well known as the able assistant of Dr. Arnold, at Rugby School, is to be the new Master of Harrow. There is, in a garden near Fulford church, belong ing to Mr. Thompson, of York, a peach-tree in a remarkably forward state. It is now in full leaf, and some of the fruit has attained the size of a walnut.—Halifax Express. . ARRIVAL OF PRINCE FERDINAND OF POR TUGAL. —The Manchester, private steamer, put in here on Saturday morning, from distress of weather, and came to an chor at Catwater, having on board Prince Ferdinand of Por tugal of Ferdinand, an suite. At seven o'clock in the morning, Lieutenant Baldock, R.N. landed from the steamer, and proceeded to the Admiral and General to announce the arrival' of his Royal Highness, and to state his Royal com mands that he wished to remain, while here, strictly incog. About 12 o'clock the admiral, Sir W. Hargood, went on board to pay his respects to his Royal Highness. The steamer ex perienced very severe weather on her passage from Ports mouth.—Plymouth Herald. DR. PARR AND THE MONTHLY REVIEW.— Our readers are aware that the late Mr. Homer, editor of the various editions of the Latin Classics, put forth in the year 1787 an edition of Bellendenus de Statu, with a Political Preface by the late Dr. Parr, reviewing all the great Parlia mentary characters of the day, and a dedication to Fox, North, and Burke, both written by Dr. Parr. The Monthly Re view gave an elaborate article on this work. It opened with a very interesting and elegant life of Bellenden, Master of the Pleas in Scotland in the time of J ames I. f England ; it then proceeded to criticise the preface written by Dr. Parr, makes various remarks on the Latinity, says he has drawn from writers of different ages, and very different degrees of purity. The reviewer says the Doctor is too profuse and in discriminate in his panegyric and his censure, but his praise is without adulation, and his censure is without scurrility. The reviewer can neither subscribe to Dr. Parr's severe and un qualified censure of Mr. Pitt and his colleagues, nor does he think the lustre of his triumvirate, Fox, Burke, and North, so unsullied as Dr. Parr would fain persuade us. Lastly, the reviewer laments the imperious and haughty spirit of Dr. Parr, though he willingly allows him to be an elegant scho lar and powerful writer. When the late Mr. Heber's copy of the Monthly Review was sold at Evans's, we examined it with some curiosity, as the names of all the writers had been in serted in manuscript by Dr. Griffiths, the proprietor of the Review, and were not a little amused to find the Review was written by Dr. Parr himself. A fine swarm of bees was seen at Banwell, Somer set, on Saturday last, the 19th instant ; they settled on a thatch of a house in the centre of the village. On the same day two swarms were taken, or hived, one at Congresbury, by Mrs. Ford, and another at Yatton. This is nearly two months sooner than they usually swarm, and is the earliest instance of the sort ever remembered by the oldest person in the neigh bourhood.—Plymouth Journal. THE WEATHER.— March, instead of fulfilling the adage of "going out like a lamb," in truth, went out like a lion ; and April has made its denouement under a still more fierce and terrific aspect. Few persons living can remember such an April day as Friday last, which combined all the hor rors of winter—hail, rain, snow and sleet, and high wind. Even the late winter, long and dreary as it has been , had no such day in its calendar as last Friday. Yesterday was not much better. VIOLENT SQUALL.—The weather was yesterday squally and tempestuous, accompanied with heavy showers of rain, partially meltedinow, and at intervals showers of ,hail of considerable size ; so violent was the wind that an umbrella afforded little or no protection. About twelve o'clock, a " gentleman," who, from his " Sunday costume" appeared to be going to " dine'out," was caught in a tremendous shower of hail between the Marsh-gate and Westminster-bridge, Lambeth. He sought shelter, but in vain : it was church Juice- He then called a cab ; hut as the driver, who was in the vehi . stood up to turn his horse ro un.l, a s q uall came on ! -So - udden and so violent was it that, taking_ the. cab ct o nearly in at, it lifted it up, and dashed it atiti.the irti - wits.ort irle,to the ground ‘sith a heavy cra%l:, The driver vas till,. • -,,, t, to a considerable distance, but fortunately v.ithout :naterial injury. .

Shortly before her death, she stated to the nurse of the ward that she was blowing the fire in order to make the water in her tea-kettle boil, when her clothes ignited. An inquest has been held since upon the body. MELANCHOLY DEATHS.—In the early part of the present month Mr. Price, of Upcott, Herefordshire, being rather unwell, had medical aid called in. When the medical gentleman arrived, Mrs. Price asked the nature of her hus band's illness, upon which she was informed that his case was hopeless. She i mmediately exclaimed, "That is a death wound for me !" which proved too true, for in two days after wards she died of a broken heart, and Mr. Price expired about three hours afterwards. A rumour, originating in a well-known quarter, not a hundred miles from St. Abb's, has got into circulation that Mr. Steuart, the Member for this district, was about to va cate his seat, for a very important and highly respectable si tuation in the Post-Office. We have made inquiry, and, unfortunately for the country, find that there is no truth what ever in the report.--Scotsman. TANNING. --A discovery has been made, and a patent taken out, for using black-berry bushes in the process of tanning leather. Should this prove a good substitute for oak bark, it will be of great importance in many points of view. The Barrister mentioned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons on the 15th inst., as having been of materialmser. rv ß ic o e b i e n n th T e y p rw ro h p i o tt s , ed of co th n e sol o id x a f t o io rd n of the Stamp Laws, is Circuit : this gentleman is the eldest son of the late Recorder of Chester, whose death occurred very recently. Some of the the papers mis-spelt the name " Tyrrell?" On Wednesday last, a dr eadful accident occurred at. c S a t rrpate iz f i.on-Avon. As Joseph liewins, a lad in the em p lo y of Mr. Edward Paine, was ass istin g his father in taking two hor ses f rom the stable to work, the horses were frightened at a which was being shaken in the yard, eilld became so un manageable that the poor lad was shockingly kicked in the face and on the head. The lower teeth were all completely driven out, and the skull was fractured. — Warwick Advertiser. iNIEvAGissEy.-„-Que of his Majesty's cutters rode out the storm in this bay ; two 14.7 men were washed over board, whilst in the act of stowing the ji,i? ? but were fortu nately rescued, =hfi THE SUN, LONDON, _MONDAY, APRIL 4, 1536: SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Of about one hundred and twenty horses engaged in the stakes already filled, upwards of eighty are in training ; and although several, either from not being quite up to the mark, or from having been " tried in the ba lance and found wanting," will not show, there are enough left to ensure a race for every match and stake in the list.

The list however, as we have before intimated, includes many that will not come out. Promising as the meeting looks on paper, the tempestuous state of the weather indicates that it will be any thing but a pleasurable one to those who seek amusement only ; moreover, the heavy falls of rain, hail and snow have rendered the ground so excessively deep, that it will be im possible to take any accurate measurement of the Derby horses from the results of the week. Health and strength will have the best of it ; for speed is almost out of the question. Of the many stakes " set down for hearing," the Riddles worth is the most important ; of the exact number that will start, we cannot speak with confidence, but the following'are talked of I—Brother to Nell Gwynne, Destiny, Ermine, Bra, vura filly, Babel colt, Brother to Emiliana, Emineh, and one of Mr. Ridsdale's. It seems probable, however, that not more than five or six at the outside will show. There has not been any change in the betting :since the last quotation from Tattersall's.

TO THE EDITOR OF TITE SUN. - Albion Chambers, Bristol, March 31, 1836. SlR,—The grand display of Sir Richard Vyvyan in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, has excited con siderable amusement among the many friends of the Go vernment in this city, while the supporters of Sir Richard Vyvyan will hardly thank him for his exertions, seeing that the serious charges brought by him against Ministers, ended only in the severe reproof of the traducer for his utter failure in supporting those charges with anything in the shape of fact or argument. There are, besides, in the course of the debate, not only in the speech of Sir Richard Vyvyan, but in that of Sir Robert Peel, some mis-statements as to Bristol ; which, per haps, as tending, in some respects, to in7alidate the general accuracy of the statements on which both these speakers founded their patched-up case against Government, you will allow me briefly to advert to. Sir Robert Peel states that in Bristol " Conservative principles predominate ;" but this is not the fact, if the opi nions of the resident householders of the borough are to be weighed in the scale, for a majority of this class of voters has at every election, subsequent to their introduction into the constituency, voted against the Tory or Conservative candidates, whose elections have been entirely owing to the votes of the major part of the constituency—the old freemen, who (educated in political virtue under the in fluence of the late close corporation, and the still-existing self elected vestries—bodies possessing the patronage of chari ties exceeding 20,0001. per annum, and banded together in a local political association which answers the purpose of a benefit club to them, requiring nothing from them in return but their votes, as the funds are supplied by the wealthy Tories,) constitute the staple Conservative commodity of the place. Next, Sir R. Peel seeks to bear out his assertion by add ing, " that is, the great majority of the town council of the corporation of Bristol profess to hold Conservative princi ples." True, they do so ; but it is but fair to add, what in all probability Sir R. Peel's informant did not think fit to inform him of, that by an unequal division of the wards in Bristol, and a consequent unfair allotment of 'councillors to them, six councillors were given to those wards in which the Conservatives possess a majority of votes, which should have been given to those wards in which the Liberals pos sess a majority of supporters. Yet, under this great disad vantagfre, liberal principles were strong enough in Bristol to return an equal number of Whigs with the number of Tories returned at the municipal elections ; and it was only by the desertion of one professed friend, and of one alone, that the Conservatives were enabled to obtain a ma jority in the Council, by the .election of a majority of Tories and Trimmers into the offices of aldermen—thus placing that party in a minority within the council which is the majority among the citizens, and which, upon the ag gregate poll of all the wards, stood 200 a-head of their Tory antagonists. Ido not accuse the dividing barristers of in tentional injustice—far from it ; they took the evidence on which they acted at, the hands of the local authorities under the close old system, and, unfortunately, these to a man were Tories. Sir Robert Peel states that twelve Liberals and twelve Conservatives were nominated by amicable agreement, and that a division only occurred upon one name ; but, in point of fact, such an agreement was repudiated by the Tories ; and a division took place (I speak from memory), but cer tainly upon .not less than four names ; for of those sent up, three most unexceptionable names (Liberals) were divided against, and, of the others, one or two were rejected be cause their politics were of rather a more decided cast. Again, of the Tories nominated there was not a man whose politics were not of the most decided character ; while, on the other hand, several in the Liberal list were of very mo derate opinions, and one will, I believe, turn out practically a Tory. So much for amicable agreement and equality. The Liberalism, such as it is, was undeniably wrung from the factitious majority of Tories in the council, by the fear of' an ulterior appeal, grounded on the injustice of the ward division, which was, in fact; loudly threatened. Great ami cability in that, certainly ! Lastly, Sir Robert Peel talks of the indignation of the contracting parties, on finding the " agreement" set aside by Lord John Russell's approving of twelve Liberal no minations, and of six Tories ; but the virtue of that indig nation may be reasonably doubted, when we consider a. fact which has leaked out here, that the Tory party has done all it could to obtain the exclusion of two liberal names from the list, one of them placed at the head of the poll by the largest and most important ward in the borough, and unanimously approved of by the Council ; the other a gentleman of high scientific attainments, and the energy of. whose character is the sure guarantee of an active discharge of the duties of the office by him—so much for the implied charge of the violation of faith. Much of what has been said above will serve to reply to much of what was said by Sir R. Vyvyan ; but Sir Richard goes on to charge the Government with holding communi cation with the Bristol Liberal Associatia.--..,t1----1,;.,,f_ and indirectly, as - I — tincterstand him, of acting under the influence of that Association. That the Association should not meet the approval of Sir Richard is not to be wondered at, when it is understood, that prior to its formation in March 1835, the household constituency was a minority among the electors of this city, and that its numbers were decreasing with each registration ; while the freemen, by the retention of hundreds of fictitious names upon the registry, and under the fostering care of the wealthy Tories, were an increasing majority ; and that at the next registra tion following the formation of the Association, the house hold constituency was increased by more than 1,000 votes, and the freemen's list purged of 1,300 names which had no right to be retained on it. I do not say that all the gain was Liberal gain, but under the influence of the Libral Association, the Registry was thus placed on a far more healthy footing, and the seat of Sir Richard so far endan gered. I come next to the charge ; and, as the Secretary to that Association, allow me, Sir, to say, that it is totally unfounded. The Association has had no communication with the Government on the subject ; so far from it, I know its officers would disapprove of the use of the politi cal power of the body on any question affecting the admi nistration of justice. With regard to the principle of the rejection, although it does seem strange that men who could see no harm in the exclusive Tory character of the old Aldermen Magistrates, self-elected as they were into the office of judges, with a power of life and death—although they could see no harm in the exclusively political appointments of the late Duke of Beaufort, the last act of whose official life was to appoint these very men County Magistrates--should, nevertheless, see so, much mischief and danger in any thing like a Whig tendency to equalization. And although it does seem most reasonable, as six names more than sufficient were nomi . • „„.„ c,;„ ids of c ) . 4 , 41. elbfft ~w~~ ;r, :'_~_ ,~~ 4.4 . 4?

Vyvyan's counsel, Mr. Harrison, felt it necessary to put Mr. D.'s advanced age in evidence as an excuse. Another rejected nominee, Mr. Walker, on being recently canvassed for his vote for an office in the gift of the Cor poration, replied by the following note :—" Sir, I am rather surprised at your troubling me with your circular, as you did not by your vote think me a fit person to represent the Ward of St. Michael's. I am, &c., signed, C. L. Walker, Feb. 13, 1836. To Mr. T. Foster, &c." Three others belonged to that batch of Magistrates, who after suffering the military to leave the city on the Sunday of the riots of 1831, and at a time the place was at the mercy of a band of thieves, kept a body of citizens, who had assembled to assist them, wa i t i ng f or severa l h ours on t h e p l ea th a t t h ey were privately engaged in readin g letters of advice, and then suggest e d b y t h e town clerk that the parties assem bled should go home to dinner, while the deliberative con clave were making up their minds what to do I Of the conduct of these magistrates on the Monday morning after the termination of the active rioting, Major one or two Magistrates would accompany me on horse gave the following evidence :—" /requested that I promised presently to restore order. They all refused to d o so ; upon which I put the same question to b ß a e c e k l:w a t n t l id them individually ; they all refused ; one stated that it would ship ping to be destroyed, another his property—in short they all refused.

Campos, in order to prejudice public opinion against him, by publishing in his journal, the Dimio do Povo, the above-mentioned report long before it was offered to the Chambers, and con trary to the express wishes of the deputies who had ac quainted M. Campos " that they would rather not receive it until it was accompanied by his budget and usual expose?' He next very cleverly defends himself from the imputation which it was attempted to lay at his door—of being very partial to the foreign loan system, and proves in a most con. elusive and satisfactory manner the expediency and abso lute necessity of raising those which' were wanted, in order to recover Portugal from the Usurper's grasp, as well as the, comparatively speaking, favourable terms on which th ey were contracted. He briefly refers to the very large sums for which Government was called upon, after the end of the civil war, in order to pay off the foreign auxiliaries in the army and navy, the two and four years gratuity to the foreign officers, and the prize money for the capture of the Miguelite fleet, and other prizes ; and likewise the impossi bility of immediately renderir , available towards the reve nuer of the state the taxes, light as they fall on the inhabi tants, in consequence of the state of poverty, anarchy, and political dissolution in which Don Miguel had left the country. M. Silva Carvalho claims, and very justly too, great credit for the operation for the extinction of the paper cur rency, which evidently raised the public credit both in and out of the country. It had always been considered a mea sure full of difficulties, with which, however, he 3lid not hesitate to grapple, and it had been realised to a consider able extent. He next goes into most comprehensive de tails, and shows 1. That the million and a half 3 per Cent. Stock, con tracted in London, for the redemption of the 6 per Cent. Stock, had realized it, leaving beside a surplus in cash of 61,2021. 18s. 6d., which became available to the public cur rent expenditure, independent of an annual saving in the rate of interest of 12,768/. 2s. I Id. 2. That the two millions and a half 3 per Cent. Stock, contracted in London for the reduction of the 5 per Cents. had yielded a comparative saving in the annual rate of in terest of no less than 5,879/. 14s. ld. 3. That the reduction of the 6 per Cents. of the internal debt of the country into a 4 per Cent. Stock had, as far as it went, yielded an annual saving of 105,751,635 reis, or about 25,0001., and demonstrates that it would have been much more but for M. Campos' coming into the Ministry the first time whilst it was in operation, from May to July last ; in corroboration of which he proves a most convinc ing fact, namely, that after he again returned to the Cabi net, one of the parties who had signified to M. Campos that he would not take 4 per Cents. in exchange, and pre ferred cash, actually went to Silva Carvalho, an said, that as he now once more had confidence in the Administration, he would accept Stock for his 100 contos of 6 per cents. 4th. That the reduction of the 5 per cent. of the internal debt of the country into a 4 per cent. stock, although like wise interrupted by M. Campos's second accession to the Ministry, had yielded an annual saving of 11,085,000 reis, or 2,7001. in the rate of interest. And lastly, as to the 2,000,000/. 3 per cent, stock in Mr. Rothschild's bands lately, he could not help any unfavour able arrangement which M. Campos might have made re specting them, in order to repay the amount due to that gentleman, but that he could assure every one he had made arrangements with the Bank for a part of the said amount and with other parties for an advance on part of the 11-..azi: lian debt to Portugal, now about being received wh i ch would have enabled him to have repaid Mr.. aothschild, and then he would have brought the sthe l .i. on the market whenever, and not before, the prices Would have been such as to enable him to proceed with ';is plan of conversion. M. Silva Carvalho taxes ) ,;:t. Campos with having ; du rinc, his former Ministry, from May to July, improperly ap plied to the current, expenses various large sums of money which had bees ra i se d, and consequently were intended for continuing the conversion. He then not only repels with indignation the hints which have been thrown out in the said report against M. Mendizabal's honesty in the ma nagement of the financial agency in London, but shows the disinterested and patriotic conduct of that Gentleman throughout his connexion with Portugal--the great regu larity *lnd correctness of his accounts, as well as those of Mr. Carbonell, and lightly - hints at the great and lasting obligations under which this country is 'to him for his most extraordinary exertions in its behalf—he hopes that he will not be compelled to mention the names of those Portuguese, calling themselves patiots, who during the Oporto siege offered the Great and much larriented Duke of Braganza to grant him loans, giving him 20 for every 100, and demanding as security " the independent controul over_ the revenues of the Azores_ +l‘ , . -_AL' anti r.ast India colonies, ann maneira, when taken,"—conduct most dis graceful, when campared with that of the noble-minded Spaniard Mendizabal. He next refers to several of the beneficial measures during his administration, such as the establishment of a free port for bonding goods, the commer cial code, the equalization of import duties, the abolition of duties which national goods paid on going from one port to the other, the abolition of tithes, the extinction of monastic orders and friars, &c., and next refers to the necessary dis couragement which all those foreign capitalists who intended to purchase national property, establishing .country banks, manufactures, roads, canals, &c., now experience at con templating the present unfavourable and retrograde appear ance of things. He draws a triumphant comparison be tween his 3 per cent. loans and the one effected in 1823 with Messrs. Goldsmidt and Co., by Count Povoa, at a time when Portugal did not owe one shilling in England, which was a 5 per cent. loan, with 21 per cent. commission, at 87, equal to 841 net. M. Silva Carvalho concludes thus :—" I trust that the British capitalist at whose hands both myself and the Go vernment which I represented have met with such confi dence and fairness will do me the justice, to believe that I am not the man capable of raising money for the ostensible purpose of conversion of other loans, entertaining at the same time the premeditated intention of applying it to other purposes. Neither was I the person to direct the same, nor was my honest frientl; M. Mendizabal, the man whO would obey any 'such unprincipled orders if given." lam convinced that it is out of M. Campos's power to refute this straightforward and manly expose of M. Silva Carvalho. M. Gomez de Castro's report to M. Silva Carvalho, on his return from England and Paris with M. Mendizabal, last August, is likewise given in the above manifesto, and it is a very clear and plain matter-of fact document, reflecting, if ow'..sibil.'greater credit still oit - le Spanish Minister. ntal,withst, ing M. Campos's asser .. T • :arvalho could not give required and had applied now ('S, beyond the power of ivn written acknowledg hi) every document, even the Government !

THE ROYAL HuNr.—On Thursday the place of meeting was fixed for Salthill, and was attended by a very numerous field, independent of a great concourse of spectators. The deer " Abourfield," on being uncarted, made away to Stoke Park, thence to Wexham, Denham, over Uxbridge-common; by Hillingdon, leaving Harrow-hill to the right, and to Bushy heath (near Watford), where the noble animal was taken. The run lasted two hours and forty minutes, and although it was " cold hunting," the hounds hunted beautifully. At starting it is supposed there were nearly two hundred and fifty horsemen, of which not more than forty were up at the take, among whom were Lords Frederick Fitzclarence, the Earl of Uxbridge, and his son. On the preceding day (a by-day) a young deer from Richmond Park was uncarted at the New Lodge, Winkfield, which afforded a very fine day's sport, and was taken in Datchct-lane. The Royal hunting establish ment, at the latter end of next week, will proceed to the New Forest, where they will hunt for several days. A game stag was turned out this day near Windsor, before his Majesty's stag-hounds, to treat the holiday folks to a chase before the final close of the hunting season. The stag's horns were ornamented with gay ribbons, and the neighbouring gentry were present to sec the sport. he'l Cocknies are treated to their favourite hunt at Epping Forest, and all sorts of quadrupeds were in requisition for the hunt.

Dillon, brother of Viscount Dillon, has just sent out an ad• dress to the electors of the county. Mr. Dillon announces himself as a firm supporter of the principles of the present Adthinistration. He comes of a good stock--the family of which he is a member having been consistent reformers. There are already in the field five candidates, all professing liberal principles. They are Messrs. M'Donnell anEI Browne, of Glen Corrib, Mr. Constantine Dillon, Sir Nip, lentine Blake, and Mr. Michael Blake, Birmingham. CARLOW DEPOPULATION.—We take the f01ic:11 . 64- from a heart-rendin g letter written by Mr. Phelan, the Editor of the Dublin Evening Post : " BagnalstowP, March 31, 1836. beg to direct your atte!ition, and that of the public, to a most distressing scene Nvhich took place in thtft parish on yesterday. " It may be in your recollece.on, that at a meeting which was held in Clonegath, in th;s parish, on last December, to petition Parliament for Por,r Laws, that I, after counting over the number of families' and individuals that were ejected within the last few yea's from the property of three or four in this parish, which amounted to 178 families, or 992 individuals, including 230 widows and orphans, stated, that besides these. already ejected, there were 71 additional families, amounting; to 391 individuals, including eighty-six widows and orphan served with notice to quit by three at these landlords. that occasion, I said that I saw but little reason to hope that this threat of intimidation wou/.6,' not be carried into ful .ffect. " On yesterday, the sentelice of the law was carried into exe cution against 16 fami"cos, amounting to 96 individr.als, in cluding seven wido w s. and their families, in the townituid of Sliguff, the property of Viscount Beresford. " About euree o'clock on yesterday, John Agar, with a labour ing man heavily loaded with locks and keys., attended by the Sheriff and 40 of the constabulary, with two chic', constables, reached the devoted village. The approach of 'this formidable force filled the miserable families about to be vjected with the utmost consternation. The day was particul afly cold and severe —sliowers of hail and snow succeeded each, other at short inter vals; but the moment had arrived when ',lit poor families were to be driven from the spot where they W' re born and reared ; they were all, with their little furniture, i.a a short time put out upon the high road.. You could su.re,ely represent to your mind a more distressing scene. Thar were actually shivering with the cold—they were half naked --almost all the women and children were bathed in tears—sorne of the married women had infants at their breasts not more than a few months old—others appeared on the eve of being confined; there were seven wi dows, all, but one, over 60 years of age —some beyond 70. One of the bailiffs, who was at the time drunk, while dragging out of the house a member of David Hacket's family, trampled upon a young child ; the father of the child knocked him down at the moment, and the Sheriff, to do him justice, turned the bailiff away. When they came to dispossess a man named Edward Hickey, who had his child confined to bed by the measles, he entrea',ed them to allow him to stop in his bov.se for a few days his children would get better—but no in dulgence would, be granted; the afflicted parents were obllged to carry the children in their arms, and keep them on the road side exposed to the piercing cold wind that blew like a hur ricane at the moment. " I consider that in directing public attention to the situa tion of this truly unhappy people, and by show;.ng the danger they are in of perishing through destitution and want, that I have discharged a duty which. I owed to 'society and to these poor families. I trust that those who 'are charged with the preservation of human life will take th'e.ir melancholy state into consideration." Ciluacn PATRONAGE..—StrP.ngers will naturally be sur prised at the number o f enemies to the existence of the Protestant Church , in its present form of government, to he found even wi t "'ain the pale of the Establishment itself: The cause ; :s so well known in Ireland, that the fact causes neither surprise nor regret. The fact is, the nepotism 'at P_. few great families, who have hitherto contrived to se cure to themselves a monopoly of ecclesiastical patronage in the country, is so shamefully notorious, that one only won ders how Protestantism can find a single advocate out of the ranks of the favoured and pampered pluralists. Th, consequence is that the most violent as well as the ablest opponents of tithes and the other abuses of the Establish ment are the sons of Protestant curates—gentlemen whose only inheritance is their talents, and who are happy to take every opportunity of indemnifying themselves for the inju ries received through neglect of their fathers, by reprisals on the Church. Let the following be talon as an instance of the cases of hundreds of unpatronised curates in Ireland, and can any one doubt what must and ought to be the feelings of the children of such a neglected class of Christian ministers? A. pious, learned, and liberal curate the Rev. John Cham bers, died a few days ago. at Leek, in the diocese of Raphoc, in the 82d year of his age. He lived in the same diocese and the same curacy fifty-seven years—he saw five prela - '.es of the diocese called to give an account of their ministry. By all he lived unnoticed, and died—a curate. His, how ever, were not the virtues that win the patronage of a pre late. He had nothing to recommend him but meekness and sincerity—learning and devotedness to the spiritual wants of those committed to his charge—and absolutely so seldom do the bishops tread • the same course, that it cans scarcely be wondered that he never met one of the five ived. OUTRAGE.—tietween the hours of six .and seven - o ~...-_ on Thursday morning, three men, called at the lodgings of a watchman, named Byrne, in Qcorge's-place, and having de coyed him to the' outside of the house, they instantly at tacked him with bludgeons, and heat.him in the most savage manner. Byrne was removed to Mercer's Hospital. None of the offenders were apprehended.—Register. INCENDIARISM.—Between ten and eleven o'clock on Thursday night, the turf-boat of a man named John Brown, which was lying at Dolphin's-barn dock, was ma liciously set on fire by a number of persons. Intelligence: of the attack having been sent to the police-barrack ;.ni Kevin-street, a strong party of horse police was dispatc' 4c d to the spot, who succeeded in arresting the principal in th e outrage, a fellow named Kill een , and extinguished the ;Ire before any serious injury was done.—lbid. ANTI•TITHE MEETINGS.—On Thursday last, a hi g hly respectable meeting was held in the Lancasterir .n School in Ross, to petiti on aga i ns t tith es , an d oppose '..:orporation tyranny, The Rossmen are determined to oppose, tr, the last, the payment of tithes.

FlRE.—Between the kaours of eleven and twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, last, a fire broke out through the roof of Mr. Sikes's C , Ai - det Ware Room, in Great George's street, which frown the frightful rapidity with which it ap peared to have spread, and the immense columns of smoke and flames wilich issued from the buildinc , itself, spread ter rific dismay amongst the inhabitants of that and the circura- jacent streets. The Ware Rooms having been overstocked at the time with a vast quantity of newly-finished furniture, and much more in process of manufacture, those com bustible materials served to feed the flames to such a de- gree, that notwithstanding all the prompt and - vigorous; assistance rendered, and that promptly and speedily, not a single particle of the same was saved from the devouring element. The total loss of property on this occasion. is estimated at 2,0001., and although Mr. Sikes was insured. with the West of England Assurance Company, it was not: fully to the amount of his loss.—Cork Herald.

A ver dict of " Wilful murder" was found against her husband, who had absconded, but wb.6 has been since apprehended and committed to Galway gaol to abide his trial for the alleged offence.—Athlonc Independent. PROTESTANT REGISTRATION SOCIETY.—This title hav ing been put forward by Micky, John Rufus, jun., and others, the honest Protestants of Waterford felt naturally indignant at such audacity, and openly signified their dis pleasure at such an impudent attempt to identify them or their religion, with the Orange spirit which is sought to be fostered by a few old men, and a small band of presump tuous buckeens in our city. The lecture already rend therm had such a salutary effect on their tender nerves, that they discontinued the society. By this manoeuvre they sought to escape our vigilance, and they are now confederati-ng under the mire of " The City of Waterford Constitution a l Registration Association."—Waterfo^...d Chronicle.
